In the males the mean squeeze of both hands varies from 35 lbs. up 

 to 110 lbs., the mid-squeeze being 72 lbs., the 26th grade 64 lbs., and the 

 75th 82 lbs., giving a probable deviation of 9 lbs. In the females it varies 

 from 25 to 75 lbs., the mid-squeeze being 45 lbs. (all but a few ounces), 

 at the 25th grade it is 38 lbs., and at the 75th grade it is 50 lbs. ; the 

 probable deviation is 6 lbs. In estimating the strength of squeeze it has 

 been thought better to follow the rule of taking the mean between the 

 right and left hands when there is a difference, instead of taking the 

 greatest squeeze with either hand, as has been done by Mr. Francis 

 Galton in the statistics of the Health Exhibition. The mean is always 

 adopted in cases where the length of bones or limbs differs on the right 

 and left sides of the body, and there does not appear to be any reason 

 why an exception should be made in the case of the strength of squeeze.
